LOOKING AFTER YOUR REEL PROPERLY

Looking after a reel only takes a few minutes and means it can keep its properties for a long time.

AFTER EACH USERinse the reel in soft water (1) but never immerse it. Next, dry carefully (2) using a microfibre cloth.

YEARLY MAINTENANCE

After taking the spool off the reel by unscrewing it, place a few drops of oil (WD40 type) on the spool pin (1) and the roller guide (2). Next, unscrew the crank before placing a few drops on the movement (3). Put the crank back on and turn it a few times to spread the lubricant properly.

The reel is an essential item of fishing equipment. It means you can bring in fish by reeling but you can also "drag" on the line coming out when the fish pulls on the line to control it better. Discover how to adjust the drag on your reel simply and effectively.
